I just can’t stop wondering why Brooklyn (as in New York) is popularly (and officially) abbreviated to BKLYN.
À la:

If we’re getting rid of vowels (which is the NRMAL… I mean, NRML way) shouldn’t it be BRKLYN?

Current distraction: wondering about the mouthfeel. Chewy? Sticky? Sans-serifs-y? Alphagetti?*

*If it’s named after what it clearly IS named after, shouldn’t there be an H after that G?
